"(I mean, not one PoC in an acting category at all when Michael B. Jordan and Creed exist?)"

Who is seeing these movies though? They register no impact on popular culture at all. No one cares about Birdman or 12 Years a Slave or anything else that won the last five years.

I'm quite familiar with them, actually. That's how I know.

There's no serious conversation to be had about the movie, as it's utterly facetious nonsense. Only that its filmmaker seems to enjoy the degradation of women.

I didn't force misogyny on the screen. Maybe Tarantino shouldn't have been so misogynistic.

I've never heard of any of those movies. I only know her from Bond. Whereas Eddie Redmayne's main claim to fame is basically Oscar-bait (he's a shoe-in as Hollywood is the only place that allows for "gay privilege").

oh god. That makes it worse.

She also did a bunch of great movies, too, though.

Yes, OB and Mannix treats her badly by overlooking the abuse.

And what motivation does she have NOT to get everyone else killed? They're hateful and treat her like shit.

There's no evidence to suggest that, and seeing as many of the people in the room were far more dangerous than this supposed "mass-murdering criminal". The old man spouts off on Samuel L and Ruth doesn't even bother, but when the woman says something, it's "shut up bitch" and a punch in the mouth. She didn't even kill

The General is killed in self-defense because he dared to avenge his son, who was brutally raped and murdered by Warren. Which is Tarantino's usually "lol rape" gag.

Yeah, god forbid women act out. "Shut up and let the men do the talking".

No, that's no excuse whatsoever.

Yeah, well who wrote the characters? Who promotes the idea of racial unity via misogyny? The frat-boy filmmaker himself.

Almost every character in the movie utters the slurs to a significant degree.

She is already treated differently because of her gender: she gets punched in the face for expressing racist sentiments, while male characters rarely get more than a stink eye.

She gets punched in the face far more than any of her equally hateful male passengers. The film is misogynistic because women are punished for stating their opinions, whereas men are let off the hook.

"Meanwhile, the trailer for The Secret Life Of Pets (also due this summer) includes scenes with characters voiced by Jenny Slate and Lake Bell, and yet those actress’ names are dumped into the “also in this movie” card at the end of the ad, while the bigger “starring” card trumpets Louis CK, Eric Stonestreet, and

I have the perspective to recognize they're not a threat.
